There's considerably more money involved with boxing.
This is funny. This whole conversation started because Irish said he could "still see Hatton having trouble with Floyd at 140 if Joe Cortez was...
Cool, you can help Irish in his new size class creation endeavor. Your skill can be judging how big a fighter is based on your uneducated...
The underlying point the sarcasm is making and the logic used to make it should be valid.
Ibeabuchi by KO in 5 rounds or less. He could take Morrison's punches, but the reverse wouldn't be true.
Yeah, weight is a really poor metric to use to determine who is the bigger man. We should do away with weight classes, and from now on just have...
I'll do that if you humor me by telling me what metric you're using to determine that Floyd was bigger than Gatti.
Jones Jr would destroy Barkley. Shut out decision or KO for RJJ. edit: Didn't see the catch. That would probably change my opinion to a close...
I think the funniest and most imaginative nuthugging justification is when Irish et al mention Floyd Jr's height. Diego Corrales had a couple...
Gatti came in the ring at 165 lbs and Floyd came in the ring at 145 lbs. Your nuthugging agenda gets more and more creative every day, I can't...
Are you seriously arguing that Gatti wasn't bigger than Floyd? Come on, there's a limit to a nuthugging agenda. Gatti was weighing in at 165 for...
He had the opportunity to fight Floyd at 140, remember? He claimed he "wasn't ready yet." Hatton could've had a whole lifetime of getting...
Did you watch Hopkins' fight with Pascal? If you don't think a younger Hops would've beaten Jermain Taylor, I really don't know what to say to...
Yes, because Hopkins never fought going forward when he was younger, and we should judge all fighters by how they perform at the age of 40.
FWIW I think James Toney's shoulder roll is on par with Floyd's.
Your sarcastic analogy doesn't fit. A more accurate sarcastic analogy would be "Chavez Sr fought at 147, so if Aaron Pryor had moved up to 147...
Once again, both Floyd and Hatton weighed exactly the same for the 147 lb fight as they would have if the fight had been at 140. The size is...
Mayweather Jr is a combination of physical gifts AND flawless technique. Fighters like that are rare.
the size disparity along with the physical and stylistic attributes of a prime mayorga make this fight not even worth discussing. mayorga would...
Roy Jones Jr and Mike Tyson were two guys who relied on their physical abilities, but they were also two guys who were serious students of the...
.. there are 2 weight divisions separating these guys. this is like asking "prime alexis arguello vs tito trinidad at 147." arguello is...
it's hilarious that people think hatton went and put on another 7 lbs of muscle and fat. all the 147 limit meant was that he wasn't draining the...
your post is hilarious. "you can still see Ricky having a hard time?" wow, it must take a lot of imagination to see a vastly inferior fighter...
Co-sign. Hatton weighed more for most of his fights at 140 than Floyd did for his fight with DLH at 154 (he came into the ring at 148).
Whitaker could've schooled Pacquiao with 2 broken knees and both hands tied behind his back.
Mayorga would chew him up and shit him out.
My post was one line long and the reference was (or should have been) immediately obvious. Someone's getting a little defensive!
Morales and Barrera were the most bitter and mutually hateful boxing rivals since Ali and Frazier. Surprised you didn't catch the reference
the first 4, no contest, and i agree that pea doesn't belong with the latter group
Maybe he's planning on slowly building up Barrera as an opponent for one of the Klitschkos?
